FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/27/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Three games on Friday night as the playoffs continue. Not a lot of injuries of signicance or quality bench players to choose from, but we can attack those GPP’s with guys who are generously priced and are capable of exceeding their values. Toronto/Washington is the projected highest-scoring game on the slate, with OKC/Utah and Cleveland/Indiana... Read More

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/27/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Thanks to teams forcing games sixes and pushing these series further along, we get a nice little three-game slate for Friday evening. Playoff basketball (in potentially series' deciding games!), the NFL Draft continues, and a 14-game main slate in MLB is a really nice way to kick off the weekend. My first thought about this...

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups

So, this is different. There's only one game tonight after being spoiled with games last night. Only the Bucks and Celtics will play tonight and luckily FanDuel runs this nifty single-game contest that only allows you to roster five total players.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Three games tonight and plenty of options. Usually this would be good but both the Celtics-Bucks and 76ers-Heat have been somewhat of a crapshoot. The shooters are hitting about every other game, although the superstars have been producing like they should. Game four of Warriors-Spurs shouldn't continue down that same path and expect the Warriors... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Only two games on the slate which means this article will be on the shorter side.

They carry a fair share amount of risk but they also free up enough space to really roster whoever you... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/20/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a solid three game slate, and we are deeper into the series', so we're aware of how these teams plan on playing each other.

Nerlens Noel: The Nerlen Wall

Two summers ago, it was a wild free agency ride for big men in the league. Players like Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng made out like bandits on notorious contracts (good for them, by the way!).

The fantasy playoffs are upon us, but more importantly is that a one seed lost in the NCAA Tournament, and it wasn't even close! UMBC beat the Virginia Cavaliers by 20.

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 21)

Last week I was certain the basketball gods were trying to take out all of the NBA’s superstars, or there was a zombie apocalypse brewing, (I still believe the zombie apocalypse personally). Thankfully, there are not many long-term injuries to report this week. As busy as NBA injuries keep me during the season, and as... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: Week 21

Okay, so I think we need to talk about something real quick that has nothing to do with this column. That thing is this: JAMES HARDEN MADE WES JOHNSON FALL DOWN AND THEN HE JUST STOOD THERE AND THEN MADE SURE HE WAS BEHIND THE LINE AND THEN HE HIT A THREE. It was a... Read More
